I think the most expensive "fraud" is giving brand new Cars to people who supposedly can't get about. The recipient has to pay for petrol and tyres, then after 3 years they can purchase the Car at a knock-down price. I know of the recipient handing over the Car to his Son from Day 1, another who is quite capable of getting a Bus , is in no way disabled and suspect this practice is widespread.

Could be Maria Miller ?

I think its A MAN WHO OWNS OWN BUSINESS,IT APPEARS LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE OBSESSED WITH MONEY TO THE EXTENT THAT FRAUD IS SEEN ALRIGHT/OK.MAYBE THEY SHOULD START TEACHING RIGHT AND WRONG IN SCHOOLS AS WELL AS HANDLING MONEY SKILLS/TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR ONES ACTION.I WONDER IF PEOPLE COULD HANDLE THEIR MONEY BETTER IF MILLION IN PUBLIC MONEY COULD BE SAVED.

As far as I know savings do not affect disability benefits. So what benefits was she lady getting? We really cannot judge if it was benefit fraud or genuine without the full facts. I am not one to take sides and condemn the system unless I know the facts.
